#AS SEEN IN THE LOBO PARAMILITARY CHRISTMAS SPECIAL

[elfdragon12]

Okay, so beyond what I feel is a certain kind of hypocrisy for fans who aren't really reading Energon Universe calling it "edgy", I have two major problems with it.

First, it is so easy to tell that Daniel Warren Johnson loves Transformers. It radiates from his pages. The way he writes Optimus Prime especially is beautiful, genuine, heart-wrenching, and has the true spirit of the character. This is Optimus Prime!

Second, while the action is exciting and intense... There is no glorification of it. These characters have been at war for 200 years and that is a ridiculously long time. It has worn on their spirits and their bodies. After each fight, both the Autobots and Decepticons are hurting and struggling.

I'm a fan of DC's Lobo, having read the official Paramilitary Christmas Special and watched the fanmade video adaptation. I'm a fan of Marvel's Sabretooth and read plenty featuring him. I've seen some edgy stuff.

Yes, it is upsetting to see characters you like die, but the presence of character death does not inherently mean that a story is edgy.

"Usually means kill, ain't never used it when screwin'...well unless I snuff some poor broad out. Hey, accidents happen! But ta answer yer question, I kill't him, beheaded him, dude was a paramilitary slave-driver. North pole? Yeah, it was a massive sweat-shop compound."

He'd scratch his chin. "The Easter Bunny hired me ta do it. Ended up fraggin' him too."

"I still have no idea if frag means kill or if it means screw, and I think I'm the only one willing to ask. What did you do to Santa?"

This is the great thing about fan films. This is why there are and should be fan films! Who in wild, wild world of imagination would ever think they would see a production with Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi’s grand creation teaming up with DC Comic’s Main Man. I don’t think I’ve seen Lobo in a fan film since The Lobo Paramilitary Christmas Special (http://www.fanfilmfollies.com/movies/loboxmas)…
